concubines

Chapter 32
Zhou Shuxuan cupped his hands and replied: "My nephew found out that there are some small black particles embedded in the horse's hoof. It is a kind of gunpowder. The gunpowder shocked the horse, so he fell down." He didn't say anything about the prince, for fear that the emperor would say that he deliberately framed the horse. .

The eldest princess nodded and turned to the emperor, "Your Majesty, when I was recuperating in the mansion, I couldn't think of it and asked someone to check it. I found some results that I didn't want to believe. The gunpowder was actually related to the prince. You Say it's ridiculous."

The prince laughed dryly, and said unnaturally: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, my aunt made fun of my nephew, how could those things have something to do with my nephew?"

The eldest princess laughed a few times with him, stopped it immediately, and reprimanded with a cold face, "It's funny, I just found out that it was related to you. You bribed the people at the racecourse. Before the prince's horse race, except for a few specific horses All the others were put with gunpowder, just to make King Qin break his leg, or fall to death, so you can have no worries. Who would have thought that the people in the racecourse didn’t clean up, and let me fall off the horse, and let King Qin find out The king of Qin sued the emperor, you were afraid of the emperor's punishment, so you washed the entire racecourse with blood, then deliberately made the matter escalate, and then planted the blame on the king of Qin, just to kill him. Don't you think so?"

The prince was like holding ice in his arms, and his whole body was cold from the bottom of his heart. He was worthy of being the eldest princess, and every word he said was not bad.If she hadn't rushed over, Zhou Shuxuan would have died.

But how could he admit, "My nephew has never done these things. My aunt has always disliked my nephew, so don't inflict such serious crimes on my nephew. My nephew will follow my father's teachings and be kind to others. My aunt said so Is there any proof?"

The eldest princess laughed three times, her eyes and brows were full of sarcasm, "Can you write the word benevolence? I have enough evidence, but I have one more question to ask you before I present the evidence. We will talk about other things after you finish talking." You said it was the King of Qin who did it, what reason does he have for doing that?"

The crown prince was really confused, his back clothes were already soaked, he steadied his mind and said: "He wanted to blame me for the matter of the racecourse, so he killed the people in the racecourse. There is no proof of death, he can say whatever he wants."

The eldest princess smiled disdainfully, "You are so stupid, prince, you accidentally expressed your thoughts." The eldest princess stood up and lifted her robe and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I was careful that day and told the people involved The groom brought one back to the Princess Mansion, and now it can be sent to the front of the palace to see what is going on."

Zhou Shuxuan looked at the prince who had an unusual expression, no matter how much he thought about it, he probably didn't expect this to happen.She thought she was perfect, but who would have thought that there would be an aunt who loved to poke holes.

"Prince," the emperor patted the armrest and shouted: "Is what the eldest princess said true?"

The prince knelt down, climbed up in front of the emperor with his knees on his knees, hugged the emperor's thighs and said, "Father, my minister was wronged, my minister was really wronged. It was the king of Qin who did it, and my minister also has witnesses. The eldest princess The witness has lived in her mansion for so long, so what he said is unbelievable. The eldest princess and the empress are at odds, so she has always disliked the son and minister, and has always wanted to kill the son. The father and the emperor are wronged." Holding the emperor's leg, weeping with snot and tears.

Talking about the empress, it was like poking at the emperor's lifeline. The emperor who was a little shaken just now became firm again.The eldest princess saw that the emperor's expression was not right, so she quickly added, "I not only have the witness, but also the bank note that the prince gave to the groom at that time."

The prince cried and said: "All the bank notes are the same in the world, does my aunt want to frame me by just taking out one?"

The eldest princess was furious, but she had more than one handle on the prince, and asked again: "I have also heard part of the matter between you and the Xia family, do you remember who you were talking to in the Great Buddhist Temple on the sixth day of May? I was in the meditation room next door that day."

Some puzzles were solved again, and Zhou Shuxuan recalled that something went wrong with the Xia family around May, and it turned out that they met an old lover.

The prince gritted his teeth and refused to admit it, "I have never been to the Great Buddha Temple in May, let alone any clever tricks."

"Your Majesty, the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple can testify. You can tell if the prince has been to the Great Buddha Temple on May [-]th."

The father said that the father was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right. The emperor glanced at the prince and saw that he was trembling all over, as if he was overflowing with guilt.And what about Zhou Shuxuan?Sitting firmly on the chair, there is no extra expression, and he is calm and relaxed.He has been the emperor for so many years, although he is partial, he is not blind.

No need to ask who is real and who is fake, the emperor's heart is like a mirror.

"Get up." The emperor turned his face away, not wanting to look at the two of them again.

The eldest princess looked at death like home and said: "If the emperor does not convict the prince today, I will not get up if I kneel here to die."

After hearing this, the prince began to cry out loudly, "Father, my son is wronged, and my son is wronged."

The emperor kicked him resentfully, and yelled, "Get up, do you still look like a prince?"

The prince wiped away tears that he didn't know if there were any, stood up, and obediently stood aside.

"Get up too." The emperor's tone was exhausted, and the eldest princess was still kneeling motionless. The emperor shouted again, "What else do you want? Do you want to demolish my palace?"

The eldest princess said categorically: "The second prince is really not the choice of the emperor. I also ask the emperor to abolish him and choose someone else."

Zhou Shuxuan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke, and he cupped his hands in recklessness and replied, "The minister seconded the proposal." He really couldn't bear it.

The eldest princess cursed in her heart, what kind of trouble did he come to cause at this time, didn't he find something for himself again?
The emperor ignored them as if he hadn't heard anything, and said to himself, "As the year approaches, such bloody matters should not be investigated more, for fear of offending the gods. The crown prince banned the East Palace, and the king of Qin was escorted into the clan's mansion. check."

This is to procrastinate preparations to make big things into small things, and small things into small things.The eldest princess kowtowed and said: "I also ask the emperor to grant my minister a death. Otherwise, when the second prince succeeds to the throne, his death at the hands of the enemy who broke the country will become an eternal joke."

The emperor stared angrily, and shouted loudly, "Zhuang Ding, what nonsense are you talking about? Can you say such treasonous things?"

"I'm telling the truth. Your Majesty, you don't know who the second prince is."

"Zhuang Ding, you are getting more and more presumptuous, do you still have a bit of dignity in your eyes?"

The eldest princess patted her knees and stood up, pinching her nails and said: "It's not that I have no dignity, it's that you are still unwilling to correct your mistakes. You know today, I will definitely never let you have no one to use." Put on armor and go into battle. In the border pass, the wind and the sun will fight for you, and let you be the Taiping Emperor.

Eat and drink enough and have nothing to do, treating a dead woman as a real woman.No matter how affectionate it is, princes and princesses have different lives.No matter how affectionate she is, she is not the beauty she likes, so she gets it in the palace.Also, you keep saying nasty things.If you hate you, kill him, don't send him every time you can't solve the problem, and put the credit on the prince if you succeed.

If Meng Fu is still here, I wonder if he will regret helping you win the throne that day, anyway, I regret today.By the way, speaking of Meng Fu, for the sake of a worthless prince, you actually killed Meng Fu. At that time, I really wanted to lift a knife and split your head open to see what was inside.You have to know that you are so old and not a thing, and you have raised a son who is even more not a thing. I might as well marry and go to Xiliang to get married and stop watching these bad things. "

With these words, the emperor was almost blown away. He sat on the dragon chair and panted heavily, staring at the eldest princess fiercely with his eyes, his head was full of anger, and it was difficult to think.Zhou Shuxuan couldn't help but sweat for the eldest princess in his heart. These words are really too much. The emperor is always the emperor, and he can't stand being said that.

The eldest princess took off the hat on her head and threw it on the ground, but she couldn't think about it and stepped on it again, "I said here, you can kill or shave whatever you want. But I will say one more thing, think about it when you and you How many people are left together now? Are you really going to destroy the country because of your hypocrisy?"

The anger in the emperor's head finally vacated a little space, he had a way to speak, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The prince is right, Zhuang Ding, you are crazy today. Don't you think I dare not kill you? Both the eldest princess and the king of Qin were escorted into the clan mansion, and beheaded in public after the beginning of spring."

The eldest princess was a little surprised. She glanced up, clasped her fists and said, "Thank you, brother emperor. When the time comes, let the executioner sharpen the knife quickly. It's not easy to kill with a blunt knife."

The emperor didn't even want to look at her, so he yelled at the guards in front of the palace, "Pull her down quickly."

Zhou Shuxuan couldn't laugh or cry when he was pushed out, he thought he was fine, who would want to be sent back again.He even took one back, raised his head and couldn't help but said to the eldest princess: "Auntie, you too, why bother to make the old man angry. It's all right now, we are all going to be beheaded."

The eldest princess raised her hand and gave him a look, "What do you mean, are you still blaming me? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come to rescue you."

"Where did you come to save me? You obviously put yourself in it. We are all in the clan mansion now, let's see who will save us."

The Eldest Princess looked like something serious, and said indifferently: "Isn't it the clan's mansion? I'm used to going there, and there is a room left for me there. Don't worry, someone will come to take care of us. "

Zhou Shuxuan laughed, "Go back to the room, do you think you are staying in a hotel?"

Seeing his happy smile, the eldest princess couldn't help asking, "Don't you wonder why I came to rescue you?"

Zhou Shuxuan looked clear, and said calmly: "What's strange, didn't I raise a good girl?" He knew why without thinking about it.

The eldest princess looked at him with disdain, "Look at your smug face, I will get your good girl to my house sooner or later. Why don't you reward me with that girl when you go out this time, how about it?"

"Of course...not good!"
